About our school

Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy was the first Derbyshire primary school to join Redhill Academy Trust. The school takes great pride in being a warm and welcoming place where children are supported to achieve their very best in everything they do. 

In 2023 Ofsted encountered a 'highly inclusive' school where 'pupils work hard and do their best’ when they rated Tupton Primary 'Good' in all areas of education.

Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy's core values are demonstrated through PRIDE: Partnership, Respect, Independence, Determination, Enjoyment. These, alongside striving for excellence, underpin everything that happens at Tupton. There is a wide range of pastoral support for children and their families and emotional wellbeing is considered as important as academic success.

The original school building was built in 1875 and these classrooms are still used today along with more modern additions.
